Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton

[4.0] "Just don't think these two women have great chemistry together. This match was okay but they still didn't have the same caliber of match that they had with other opponents. The interference finish kind of summed up my opinion of this match, just there."

[3.0] "[1.5*] The match was not being good before Nias interference and the No Contest ending just made the match worse. Naomi and Tiffany should have been picking up some wins."

[4.0] "Another match that I wasn't really all that into, unfortunately. The Disqualification finish didn't help either. Nia Jax inserting herself here doesn't really make much sense to me, especially with a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's Title being announced without Jax later in the show."

[4.0] "Nia Jax ruined it because that's the only thing Nia/the writers are able to come up with for her anymore. It's terribly boring, and it's a shame since this was shaping up to be Naomi/Stratton's best match. It's hard to give this a grade otherwise because I think the two were only really just starting to cook."

[4.0] "The match should not even take place, as Naomi already beat Stratton. Stratton gets rewarded for taking Naomi's title shot, it all makes no sense. The match wasn't good, we have another interference to end it, this time it's Jax. Really a nothing match that just had the purpose to fill TV time. **"

[5.0] "The match itself was pretty ok but Nia ruinned it. Too many people are getting added to this story line. I'd rather them have Nia feud with someone else and build those women and have her or who ever feud with the champion after that."

[5.0] "The match itself was okay for me, but the match-up just doesn't make a lot of sense. On the one hand I'm glad that they at least didn't gift Tiffany Straton a title match for provoking the champ like they did a lot of times in the past. On the other hand I'm disappointed that they failed to create a logical scenario for Tiffy to earn her title opportunity in Kayfabe. They try to excuse it as an idea by the champion herself. At the end of the day it's not worse than most build-ups to title matches. It just feels different, because it's supposed to be an alternative."

[4.0] "After the match last week this match seemed more of the same but with less at stake. I did think Stratton's Moonsault on both Bayley and Naomi on the last episode was awesome, so getting to see it again here was my highlight of the segment. 2.5 stars at best."

[5.0] "Another match on this show that suffers from being too short and also having a non finish. It was mostly fine throughout and started to become pretty physical towards the end until Nia Jax who had only just been drafted to Smackdown, came down to attack Bayley and Naomi which led to the match ending in a no contest. For what it was, it was a fine match but again, similar to the opener, with this being so short, there wasn't much that either woman could do here. **1/2"

[5.0] "The match was ok until Jax's interference. Naomi & Tiffany are highly talented in-ring performers, but the ending eclipsed it. I hope the Triple Threat Title Match next week will make it feel worthwhile. Bayley certainly deserves it!"

[4.0] "Naomi already beat tiffany, I have no idea why this was even a match to begin with, they shouldve made it a triple threat from the get go."

[5.0] "No Contest match again. This time it was a little worse than the match between Naomi and Bayley a week ago. For some reason, Jax attacked Naomi and Bayley. Something tells me that there will be a fatal four-way match between Bayley, Naomi, Tiffany and Jax at Backlash. I would not bury this idea ahead of time. If WWE takes this match wisely, then maybe something good will turn out: Tiffany is amazing in the ring now, her rain with the women's NXT titles proved it; Naomi and Bayley are also good performers; I'm just worried about Jax in this upcoming match, but maybe the other three ladies will be able to pull Jax to a normal viewing level wrestling match."

[4.0] "Naomi and Stratton were just starting to cook when the nonsensical ending happened. They were getting into a good rhythm together. Naomi was pulling out some cool offense. Then, Nia Jax out of nowhere. It worked for her return to WWE due to the shock factor, but it was not necessary here. My biggest frustration with WWE at the moment remains with these DQ finishes. It helps no one, least of all Bayley. Backlash is one week away and her first PLE defense is a slapped-together triple threat rather than a real challenge to her title. None of these participants seems like a credible challenger due to how things have been booked the past couple of weeks. There's no stakes or drama to this championship program right now. I like Stratton, but if you're going to push her like this, give her a one-on-one match for the belt and let Bayley make her look good in defeat. Her moonsaulting everyone in the ring worked last week, but the repeat this week fell flat and it was only because of Nia Jax to boot. Who, by the way, presumably did what she did to put the whole locker room on notice, but inexplicably left Stratton untouched, in contrast to her warpath on RAW where no one was safe. Really baffling, poor booking."

[4.0] "Not too bad, but not really great wrestling either. Stratton is really good as a heel, but not really a fan of Naomi. Interference by Nia Jax."

[4.0] "Naomi looked slightly better than she did at Mania but Stratton still did most of the heavy lifting here. The match was basically just a backdrop to Nia Jax laying out Bayley to presumably set up a future title challenge."

[5.0] "Tiffany Stratton didn't have to carry Naomi so heavily this time, as Naomi performed a little bit better than usual, but ironically, that made this match worse than the last one they had since Tiffany was impressive in that match but here she was more discreet. Also, Nia Jax being inserted in every World Title feud is already making me roll my eyes. Nepotism goes wild I guess. She just arrived on SmackDown and is being inserted in a rivalry she doesn't have anything to do with in the first place with just one week left until the PPV. (** 1/2)"

[4.0] "Nia Jax got drafted to SmackDown, so she decided to attack Bayley, who was ringside scouting the winner of this match... and because of Jax, there wasn't one, as the match got thrown out, meaning Bayley has to defend against both Naomi and Tiffany Stratton at Backlash. This plus the next defence against Jax isn't giving me much hope of enjoying Bayley's title run, hopefully IYO and/or Dakota are the long game."
